This is not prolife. This is from the Republican forced birth Party. Forced high risk birth.

Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

Everyone needs to call is what it is: a purge of non-loyalists. An unprecedented purge. That’s what it is. A purge. And CQ Brown has long been in the top of the purge list which is likely to be deep and vast. And of course, ridiculous, dangerous and bad for our national security. But it is a PURGE.

At least 3.5 % of the population needs to be in the streets CONSISTENLY. Every single day until change happens. Single day social media driven protests of 3.5% do not work. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

👋 Doctor here #NIH funding contributed to the development of 354 out of 356 new drugs approved by the #FDA between 2010 and 2019. #Pharma depends on these... So, cutting these funds will not only reduce new drug development, it will also hurt Pharma. #medsky #publichealth @meganranney.bsky.social

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

I was joking with my therapist about how I had resisted Costco all these years because we truly do not have the storage and she looked me straight in the eye and said, "Costco sells sheds."

Keep it going 💙 #BoycottAmazon

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

Measles are contagious. Measles cause 1 in 4 people to be hospitalized. Measles can be deadly especially in children. Measles can cause blindness & deafness. Measles can cause brain damage yrs later. Measles can cause "immune amnesia". Measles are preventable with MMR vaccine. #medsky #IDsky 🛟 😷🧪

This seems like a simple, effective message.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Firing #science experts from the federal government weakens our country’s ability to protect American lives. Ax falls on elite group of Ph.D.s training to lead U.S. public health labs | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

Honestly, we need to fight for every essential public good right now.

Reporter @owillis.bsky.social saw a too-perfect quote from a Black voter -- ID'd as an AI worker -- in an NYT quoteboard. So he did checked -- and voila, turns out the guy is a flak for Houston Young Republicans. NYT stealth-edited the guy's bio the next day. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Given that Kash Patel supported an insurrection against the United States, shouldn't his confirmation as FBI Director have required a 2/3 vote of both the House and Senate under the 14th Amendment, Section 3?

We have vaccines to CURE cancer, and to PREVENT cancer! Science is amazing. Don't let Junior Brainworm take away our tools to protect and restore our health!

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has a new online misinformation hub with lots of really good resources addressing health topics frequently targeted by misinformation such as abortion, contraception, vaccines, and menopause. Here’s the link!

Another clip with former NFL Player Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social arrested for civil disobedience this week in the face of his MAGA city council. HERE he talks about why, in the ensuing publicity he rejected an interview ask from the New York Times (he says exception for @jamellebouie.net)

They’re 100% going after childhood vaccines… www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

Ohio's school bathroom law is so stupid. Who is going to enforce it? Please, Ohio students, let chaos reign.

Bravo @plos.org! US exec orders "stand in direct conflict with our core values, our mission, edit policies" "PLOS will not compromise on issues of scientific rigor & editorial integrity... we seek diversity because more expert voices make for better science" theplosblog.plos.org/2025/02/plos...
